River Hull - The Ultimate River Clean Up

Totally humbled to be a small part of this amazing effort today. It wasn't fun, it wasn't pleasant but every single member of this amazing team mucked in giving their everything. It was damn hard work.

We've undertaken water based clean ups before, in fact this was our fifth. But this one was far the hardest, the most back breaking and the grimiest we've done. The biggest of thanks have to go to all the volunteers.

A combination of paddlers coming from East Yorkshire Canoe Club, Hull University Canoe Club and Kingston Kayak club all with one aim, to remove all this plastic, polystyrene and a combination of all sorts of disgusting rubbish from the river.

 As you can see these amazing paddlers have literally prevented a wagon load of rubbish from going further down the waterway, into the Humber and then ultimately into the North Sea - adding to the global problem.
